Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve
Your Safari Trip in Kenya begins with a scenic drive from Nairobi through the dramatic Great Rift Valley, arriving at the world-famous Masai Mara.

From July to October, this reserve becomes the stage for the Great Wildebeest Migration, a breathtaking display as millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles thunder across the Mara River in search of greener pastures. As dusk settles, you’ll return to Emayian Luxury Camp for dinner and an overnight stay, surrounded by the wild sounds of Africa.
